Me and my father want to play a joke on my uncle. He gave my father a 1981 chevy impala coupe and my father passed on to me. this car has been in my family before I was born. My uncle told me what ever I do. Don't put giant rims on the car.

That's good advice, smaller rims mean more rubber, which means more traction. There's a reason why the wheels of race cars often have these tiny rims.

Tiny rims have nothing to do with the surface to surface contact of a tire to the ground. The reason why racecars typically have small rims is too limit weight. Weight is the enemy of speed and acceleration obviously.

Working in the automotive industry I have learned hands-on that smaller rims, giving the tire more rubber, allows for more traction in specific instances. There's a reason you primarily see them on trucks and AWD vehicles. Weight is just one of many factors. If you also have experience in the industry, please, fill us in.

I'm sure you can cite your sources. As well as that. You're 20. You don't have any lengthy experience to really go ahead and use as a reference or credible source. As well as that, you can work in the automotive industry for years and still not now shit about tires because your expertise focuses on say electrical systems or automotive glass.

Wow, just wow! This was an amazing story. It tells the tale of the first space/car hybrid and it's unfortunate downfall to it's nemesis, the moon. The vehicle was amazing for its looks and personality. The spaceship car was a wise old one, who didn't have many friends, so he turned into a spaceship! Classic twist! I would recommend this fine story to anyone of any age. 20/10.
